Indian
sub-continent has always been a land of wars and the greatest among them was
the Mahabharath war which took place about 5000 years ago. Since then there
have been continuous wars going on literally and figuratively in all spheres of
Indian life. Indian civilization has progressed to its current level after
several setbacks and watermarks thanks to these wars. Wars need not always be
destructive; instead some of the wars have resulted in quantum jumps in terms
of ideology and development.

India is going to witness yet another great electoral war
in 2014. On one side we have the Nehru Pariwar led by the doubtful Rahul
Gandhi. And against them, we have the great Indian Sangh Pariwar led by the
redoubtable Narendra Modi. Then there is the miniscule and insignificant fringe
elements who have always remained marginalized in Indian democracy. Let us see
a brief comparison between the Kaurava and Pandava forces of 21st
century in India:-

Ideology

Nehru Pariwar

Sangh Pariwar

Political

Rule by Nehru Family

Democracy (Rama Rajya)

Social

Creation of Vote Banks

Uniform Civil Code for all Indians

Economical

Not defined

Integral Humanism

Religious

Anti-Hindu and Minority appeasement

Hindu Rashtra with equal rights for all Indians

Basic essential
objective

Retain ruling power with Nehru Pariwar at all times

Greatness and glory of Indian nation

The
sharp contrast between the two forces in the electoral battlefield is crystal
clear. But it is not so obvious whether the vast Indian Majority who will
decide the fate of Indian nation would think for themselves before voting.
Indians are by nature unselfish and careless when it comes to elections. And
there are many Indian pseudo-intellectuals who consider it a crime if the
Majority comes to power in a democracy. Let us wait and see what the future
holds for India.
